Hedgerow Cocktail
CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FORESTS
A Thyme Tipple from The Baa Bar Featuring Sapling Spirits
Sapling Vodka was born of a passion for high-quality spirits combined with love for the natural world; aiming to turn the sustainability conversation around from an outlook of doom and gloom to one which champions solutions. The London-based distillery gives people the chance to plant trees and help the environment by enjoying delicious, quality 100% British wheat vodka. For every bottle they plant a tree, GPS tracked through their website with current locations including London, Bristol, Suffolk, and the Atlas Mountains. Each of their trees can absorb up to 1.5 tonnes of carbon in its lifetime, compared with the 2.5kg of carbon it takes to make one of their bottles, making them significantly climate positive.
This Hedgerow cocktail is balanced, delicate and scented ... deliciously refreshing, if you don't have Crème de Mure, which is a blackberry liqueur, then a Crème de Cassis (blackcurrant) works equally well.
